The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

These three simple and clear words shocked Ji's father and mother again.

Father Ji scratched his ears and asked, "What did you say?"

Ji's mother's lips trembled. She wanted to ask something but didn't dare to. She could only look at Ji Yanli expectantly, hoping that he was just joking.

"I can not."

Ji Yanli repeated it again, clearly and decisively, as a real man, if he said no, it meant no.

Ji's mother staggered and almost fainted. Ji's father wanted to ask a few more questions, but was afraid of touching upon his son's sad memories.

Yes, if it is not true, which man can throw such dirty water on himself.

The old couple went back to the house, shaking their heads and sighing. Ji Yanli curled his lips and smiled slightly.

He packed the boxes in the room next to the study and locked it. Qi Chen gave him good things, not only for him to use, but also for Ji's father and mother, including century-old ginseng and bird's nest supplements. He could certainly afford them now, but this thoughtful gesture was even more precious.

After finishing, he stood up holding his waist, and suddenly felt that it was time to hire some servants, otherwise he would be too busy to take care of the family. His father and mother were too old to be asked to do those heavy chores.

Well, I have to make a few more suitable and comfortable clothes for the old couple. They have worked hard all their lives, and I was scared by him just now. I have to buy a lot of them.

At this time, Miao Guiyue had already entered the Marquis' Mansion. When she was at a loss, she met Zhang Junyao by chance. After a few words, she couldn't help but tell Zhang Junyao about her own story. Zhang Junyao felt very sympathetic about her experience and couldn't help but tell her that the Marquis's wife would go to the Shangshu Mansion today to attend a flower viewing banquet.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, Miao Guiyue fainted next to the Marquis's sedan chair. Without waiting to be driven away, she raised her face, which looked 50% like the Marquis's, and shocked everyone.

The Marquis' Mansion secretly sent people to investigate, and the truth about the real daughter was revealed. But just like in the previous life, the real daughter Xin Zhixuan still stayed in the Marquis' Mansion, and told the outside world that the Marquis's wife was pregnant with twins, but one was taken away by a nanny who had ulterior motives and could not have children, resulting in her separation from her family for more than ten years.

In order to let outsiders see that the Marquis's Mansion treated everyone equally, the Marquis's wife generously allocated a large sum of money to Miao Guiyue, now Xin Guiyue, allowing her to configure items for herself at will.

Xin Guiyue used the money to order clothes and buy jewelry for herself and used expensive materials to treat her face. She secretly gave some of the money left over to Zhang Junyao.

Only when she got familiar with this life did she realize that Zhang Junyao actually lived such a poor life. She did not think that this was because Zhang Junyao had achieved nothing since becoming the top scholar. Instead, she thought that Zhang Junyao was an honest official and a good man who truly benefited the people.

She was still thinking about making a set of clothes for Zhang Junyao, using the best material and matching it with the softest jade, just like him, who was as gentle as a chrysanthemum and as gentle as jade.

Ji Yanli was also planning to make a few suitable sets of jewelry for Ji's mother. He was not short of money, so he would buy the best.

So, in Jincui Tower, Xin Guiyue and Ji Yanli met.

Ji Yanli looked away as if nothing had happened, as if he was looking at a stranger, his eyes were cold and without warmth, which made Xin Guiyue stunned at first, then despised, and finally a little angry because she wanted to impress Ji Yanli, a country boy.

"Ji Yanli," she said, "How dare you, a lackey from the countryside, visit Jincui Tower?"

When the guests at Jincui Tower heard her say this, some looked Ji Yanli up and down, while others frowned at her.

Ji Yanli's gaze stopped at a gold headpiece inlaid with emeralds, and next to the headpiece was a series of earrings also inlaid with emeralds.

"I want this, wrap it for me."

Then I looked at other things.

Xin Guiyue glanced at the headdress and sneered, "This is at least two or three thousand taels of silver. You'd better check the price before buying it. Don't try to be too conceited and end up getting kicked out by the shop owner."

Someone chuckled secretly, and Xin Guiyue thought it was Xiao Ji Yanli. She immediately said arrogantly, "Are you trying to please some young lady by buying her? I tell you, the capital is not your backward village. Everyone is very smart and doesn't look down on country bumpkins."

Ji Yanli also selected a red coral bracelet, a green agate pendant, and a few double-sided handkerchiefs woven by the embroiderers of Jincui Tower for Ji's mother. After having the shopkeeper pack them and send them to the courtyard where he lived, he glanced at Xin Guiyue impatiently and scolded:

"Whose maid are you? Why are you so unruly and chattering?"

Xin Guiyue's eyes widened as she pointed at herself: "Maid? You said I'm a maid?"

"What else? Looking at you like this, are you still some spoiled young lady?"

Ji Yanli put his hands in his pockets and looked her up and down like Xin Guiyue had looked at him before.

"Although I grew up in the village, I've heard that the noble ladies of the capital all studied the Four Books and Five Classics from a young age, and their every move and every stillness was graceful. Look at you, which of these traits do you embody? Or was what I thought before just a rumor? In reality..."

He shook his head inexplicably.

A noblewoman holding a handkerchief beside her smiled softly, "Sir, you are right. I grew up in the capital and am quite familiar with young ladies from all families. However, I have never seen this one——"

"Ah," someone else interrupted her, "I heard that the Guangde Marquisate recently brought back a young lady. Could that be her?"

After hearing this, the others also remembered that the girl from Guangde Marquis's Mansion was taken away by a mean slave and raised like a weed since she was a child. So it was understandable that she was so unruly.

Those looks made Xin Guiyue blush with embarrassment. It reminded her of the bad experiences in her previous life, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into immediately.

She thought things would be different if she did it over again, so why were those people still looking at her with such mockery?

It’s all Ji Yanli’s fault!

So what if he won the first place? He was still a peasant! She made up her mind to go back and ask her father to find an opportunity to get rid of Ji Yanli, so that he would understand how big the gap between them was!

"Miss."

Xin Guiyue's maid pulled her from behind: "Don't you still want to pick out jewelry for the lady?"

In fact, he also looked down on Xin Guiyue's behavior.

With the stairs down, Xin Guiyue said something harsh and left with the maid. Ji Yanli smiled faintly and thanked those around him who spoke up for him, which made people feel even more sympathetic.

"He seems to be a good person, but I don't know how he offended the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion."

When I told this to my family at night, everyone felt that Xin Guiyue was not presentable. It was not her fault that she was taken away by a slave and raised in the countryside, but she looked down on people with the same poor background. Isn't this snobbery?

However, Xin Guiyue felt that she had suffered a great injustice. She ran back to the Marquis' Mansion crying and ran all the way into the Marquis's wife's yard. The Marquis's wife was holding Xin Zhixuan to comfort her. When she saw her come in, Xin Zhixuan stood up from the Marquis's wife's arms, and the Marquis's wife glared at the little maid at the door in embarrassment.

When Xin Guiyue saw this scene, her heart was filled with sourness. She felt that she was the most miserable person in the world.

Why did they treat her like this? This was her mother. She should have grown up in luxury, but it was Xin Zhixuan's damn mother who replaced her. It was Xin Zhixuan who robbed her of her life. Why didn't the Marquis' Mansion kick Xin Zhixuan out? Why?
